Tradition has it that a group of my hometown friends get together every Christmas holiday and exchange small gifts, many of them handmade. For the 2012 gathering, I decided to put together some holiday collages.
To make the collages, I selected Christmas tree ornaments from my childhood, traced them on a piece of paper with colored pencil, and then filled in the outlines with scraps of regular and handmade paper as well as stickers.

I love to make art to give away, but I also like recording the results. My hope for this post is that these photos of the collages make you smile!
